Appearance- Everyone loves the cascade, albeit short lived but still an interesting and exciting sight. Pours a moderate half inch thick foam head that lasts the beer with ample lacing. Dark brown color once everything settles.

Smell- Little to none. Some mild sweet aromas.

Taste- Easy drinking taste. Some sweet undertones, more along the lines of a brown sugar cube mixed into a cup of water. Followed up quickly with a bland tinge of no aftertaste. Not overly exciting but enjoyable enough.

Mouthfeel- Best part of the beer. Fills the mouth. More of a comforting feeling then anything. Medium body on the palette.

Overall- Goes down easy. Comforting feel and taste. Somewhat heavy but it just adds some character.

Serving type: nitro-can

Clear dark amber colored beer with a dense snowy white colored head. Very dark I could see calling this brown.

Smell is English malt and hops. Slight butter aroma with scents of leather and tobacco and London cab. Toasted grain and light caramel with a mild herbal hop flavor.

Starts out mild and malty with toasted grains with light caramel flavor. Slight fig flavor just a very light English ale. Mildly sweet with an earthy hop after taste.

Mouthfeel is decent.

Overall a mild low alcohol English ale.

I could see starting a Great Britain beer tasting with this ale, it certainly would not alter your taste perception of what ever bitter or pale ale that comes next.

Nitro can pour at the BevMo Holiday Beerfest held at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, CA.

Pours a clear orange-brown with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt and a slight caramel aroma. Taste is much the same but is very mild and lacking. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty poor beer that is not very tasty in my opinion.

Bring on the nitro-can! Something to wet my whistle for the evening. Coming out of a 440 ml can, on to the beer:

Cascade, cascade, stop. That's a lovely amber red color with a crimson tint, and that creamy head sitting on top sits an inch thick and holds its posture. The nose is muted. Something wants to crawl out, but something is holding it back. A little caramel and toasted malt crawls out , and some huskiness.

Subtle as expected, yet interesting enough to drink all the way through. Little flavors consist of fruity esters, toasty malts, a slap of honey, hard minerals, slight metallic accent. The body is light with a hefty creaminess, and it is very easy to drink.

Around my expectations, and that's not bad. A true session ale to be had in the US.

Served in a Gale Sayers shaker pint glass.

Every other nitro'ed English pale/bitter/cream ale/what-have-you I've had has been at least decent, so this guy's gonna haveta be tried, thinketh I. It pours a clear sunrise bronze topped by a finger or so of creamy off-white foam. The nose comprises barley, light greens, and a touch of biscuit. The taste brings in more of the same, with a touch more biscuit, a drop of honey, and a twinge of spicy greens. The body is a light medium, with a very light moderate carbonation and a silky smooth feel. Overall, a nice little English ale, something I wouldn't necessarily stock all the time, but something I would never mind partaking in.

Yet another oddball format, 14.9oz /440ml, why not 400, 450 or 500ml? Those wacky Euros and their metric system. Poured into straight pint glass. Poured a clean, clear coppery amber color with 3/4 inch of thick, rich, creamy nitro head that had great retention and very good lacing.

The aroma was mostly sweet malts, with some earthy grains and gentle hops in the background. The flavors were the same, a pretty typical group of flavors for the style.

The body was typically good for the style, full, rich and smooth. Drinkability was good, smooth and easy. Overall, a nice, but not notable, take on the style. Worth grabbing if you're in the mood for a nice (almost) pint of bitters.

Nice. This is a nice English ale. Smooth, easy drinking and well balanced. Like all those crazy English widget brews, this baby starts with the beautiful infinite head. This quickly subsides into a well mannered drink.

The color is darker than expected. The aroma is weak but nice. It keeps producing lace. Overall, it is as expected - a nice English ale. From England, go figure.

A thanks to woodychandler for keeping me up to date in the world of canned beers. Poured from a 14.9 oz. nitro can. Has a brown color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is a bit on the malty side. Taste is malts, a touch of nuts, just a bit of hops, like it's advertised, very smooth. Feels creamy in the mouth and overall is a good session beer.
